To think I don't fit in on mumsnet

I love slogans (within reason) on children's clothes

I actually an interested in Cheryl and Liam, jeremy and Stephanie, Kim and Kayne (and the rest)

I don't wash my bed sheets weekly (although am sleeping in fresh sheets tonight's)

I don't believe that men are the route of all evil, I've meant some equally horrible /gormless /irrational women too.

And finally I know you are not your husbands mother (well I hope you are not) but Don't get why he wouldn't do something for mothers day from younger children (even if you are separated)

I'd go via Mornington Crescent. Grin

Sparklingbrook · 12/03/2016 17:53

The A55 is neverending. Sad

Sauv while the roadworks are happening on the Pen Y Maen tunnels I'd honestly go Chester, Wrexham, Bala, Trawsfynydd, Bangor and over to Holyhead. It'd be quicker than queuing at the tunnels (as long as you catch the Posthouse roundabout not during rush hour).

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 12/03/2016 18:17

Furthest I'll go on the A55 is Conwy. Anything after that and I'll go via Bala.

SauvignonBlanche · 12/03/2016 18:19

I'll bear that in mind for future reference.

thecatfromjapan · 12/03/2016 18:37

Is the route of all evil paved with good intentions or asphalt?

ProfGrammaticus · 12/03/2016 18:39

But where is the OP? Surely they didn't just start a goady thread and bugger off??

kawliga · 12/03/2016 18:57

Don't worry Iliveinalighthouse I also read the DM every day, just to wind myself up. I view it with a kind of horrified fascination.

thecatfromjapan · 12/03/2016 19:17

I think OP has gone to microwave her dog in a (misguided) attempt to fit in.

I don't think I fit in here either tbh but I felt better after reading the Ninja thread about posters who kill threads etc.

derxa · 12/03/2016 20:39

I kill many a thread

derxa · 12/03/2016 20:41

The A66 across Cumbria is the route of all evil. I got caught speeding there once.

Krampus · 12/03/2016 21:07

No one fits in everywhere. They go lets give that a go, not sure, try again, shrug their shoulders and move on without a fuss.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 12/03/2016 23:16

I've never tried the A666 but of course it has to be the route of all evil - it has the Devil's number! Whoever thought that was a good idea?!

Having said that, I think the A14 is pretty bad too...

TheDuchessOfArbroathsHat · 12/03/2016 23:26

I don't fit in anywhere! My loo brush is teeming with poo crumbs, my sheets crack when I get into bed, my tea towels are only used to wipe the work top when the littlest dog has been for a wander on it and my husband - the very nearly late Duke - drinks like a fish and has his own bedroom. Life is good!Grin

paxillin · 12/03/2016 23:38

No, you don't fit in. You have numbers in your name, that is verboten unless they are super witty Grin. The reasons you state are negotiable (as pps have mentioned many of us even own LOO BRUSHES). As for the sheets, go on the sheet threads and you'll find people who change twice a night and people who do it annually.

LifeofI · 13/03/2016 01:06

Yes you do fit in because this is a forum for different opinions.
You dont need to think like everyone else like who cares!

LifeofI · 13/03/2016 01:12

Just going off the topic here but you actually dont need a loo brush if you use those round things you put in the top of the toilet that change the water colour.
I havent used one since using those things and my water is purple its really cool. Smile

Nobody fits in on mn. Otherwise how would you get those big long threads ?it would an op then 999 posts saying I agree.
That said, there are definite articles of received wisdom. Pro feminist, anti woo, pro homemade sugar free nutrition. At leat in principle

DioneTheDiabolist · 13/03/2016 02:17

YANBU OP. But does it really matter? MN is not all that. It's just another internet forum. Like Netmums, Petrolheads, Seagoths, Reddit etc. It has it's fair share of wisdom, knowledge, fuckwittery, prejudice and idiocy.

If you're ok here, bed down until you find a better fit and as long as you stay within the posting rules, there's nothing any other poster can do about it. Your voice is as valid as anyone else's. You bring knowledge, experience and fuckwittery to MN. Just like all the other posters.

Being known and having popular views doesn't mean being better, more intelligent or worthwhile. Donald Trump proves that.Grin
